Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 254 Limit World Wave (1)

From the perspective of the Chinese media and fans, this duel is indeed very meaningful, and they are looking forward to it very much, but almost no one has any objection to the result-the dance master will definitely win, which is a matter of course.

Everyone knows that although Sun Jihai's strength has already secured a place in the Manchester City team, he is still far behind Wang Li, but it is undeniable that the fans still have a little fantasy about this matchup. He is also half of Chinese descent, but he is not Chinese after all, so it is natural for the fans to favor Sun Jihai. Their illusion is that Sun Jihai can perform supernormally, which really caused some troubles for Wang Li.

But the result of this duel completely shattered their illusions.

Facing the defense of the Chinese players in front of him, Wang Li directly took his "shadowless foot". Ben, with this gorgeous footwork, directly made Sun Jihai dazzled, and then with the tip of his left toe, he directly passed the ball between the latter's legs, and took Ling Bowei to chase the ball away.

This set of movements is very slow, in fact, the whole process is only 3 or 4 seconds, but Wang Li's gorgeous dance steps still shocked the entire Manchester City Stadium, even Manchester City fans were impressed by this gorgeous footwork Shocked, I forgot to keep booing, and those neutral fans enjoyed watching it even more. They didn't have any preference for the two teams. For them, being able to see such a wonderful moment on the court, It's just not in vain.

Therefore, in this duel, Wang Li not only won the victory, but more importantly, he won the hearts of many neutral fans present. They now know which team to cheer for! !
Chelsea, without a doubt! !
.........

Although Wang Li won the duel, the offensive of the entire Chelsea team fell into a quagmire.

Perhaps Keegan's indulgent tactics really boosted morale. Manchester City played more and more loosely. Their offense was impressive and their defense was steady. Chelsea didn't get any good opportunities at all.Even in a counterattack, a long pass from Phillips in the middle gave striker Anelka a very good chance. If Terry hadn't fought for a yellow card and directly tackled it, perhaps the score would have changed now. It was one to zero—
Of course, it was Manchester City who took the lead.

Looking back to the right, Wang Li has been followed by a burden---Mills, the Manchester City full-time defensive defender is indeed very capable. Although he can hardly restrain Wang Li's dribbling, he still creates for him. a lot of trouble.

Mills' speed is very fast, his skills are also advanced, and his defensive ability is beyond doubt. If Wang Li wants to pass him alone, he must waste some time. Even if he passes him, Mills often chases behind Wang Li. It is never giving up, which makes Wang Li's shots are flanked back and forth every time, making the shooting space severely compressed, and the attack always fails helplessly.

Of course, during this period, with the support of his teammates, Wang Li also got a good chance, but perhaps his crossbar performance a few days ago brought sequelae to this game. His three long-range shots in the first 25 minutes, one The foot deviates from the goalpost and kicks the crossbar with both feet, making the fans feel that he is deliberately shooting the crossbar.

In this situation of being unable to attack for a long time, Mr. Mourinho, the head coach on the sidelines, was also a little anxious. In fact, the smooth sailing in the first few rounds of the league also made Mourinho feel a little proud. For this kind of team, Chelsea should have scored long ago, but the game scene is not based on personal will.

Only then did the Portuguese champion coach realize that the earth does not revolve around him, and the chances of the football field are great. For example, Manchester City is on the field now. Even if he is told that this is the Barcelona team, he is likely to Believe it, because Manchester City's football is really good.

Mourinho couldn't help turning his head and said to Clark: "The opponent's performance today is really good."

"It's Manchester United! No, it's better than Manchester United!" Clark covered his mouth in surprise.

Mourinho turned his head to look at the middle-aged man sitting there calmly on the opponent's bench, and said, "I just don't know what that Mr. Keegan told his players to make them so aggressive."

"Should the team strengthen its defense? If this continues, it is likely to lose the ball." Clark suggested with some concern.

Mourinho held his chin and thought for a while, "Wait a minute, we're not at a disadvantage, and besides, Allen's attack from the right is also pretty good."

In fact, Mourinho has always wanted to train Wang Li as the team's attacking midfielder, but in the last game, he found that Wang Li was difficult to adapt to this position, and wanted to change Wang Li's sense of position from right midfielder to front midfielder. Waist, there must be a period of adaptation, so he arranged Wang Li on the '4321' of the 2 formation in this game.

This position is not qualitative. It can be said to be a right midfielder, a shadow forward, or one of the double midfielders.The reason why he did this was naturally to make Wang Li gradually become the center of the team.In a team, the offensive center must be the attacking midfielder or the defensive midfielder. With Wang Li's comprehensive ability, if he becomes the center of the team, it will definitely greatly improve Chelsea's offensive ability——
Mourinho still feels that it is a pity to only position Wang Li as a right midfielder and right winger.

.........

Back on the pitch, Chelsea's sweeper Claude Makelele cut off Fowler's dribble in the backcourt, and then stabbed the ball to Lampard, who didn't even think about it. A long pass passed the ball to Wang Li, who was in the center line on the right.

At this time, Milner was still sticking to his post. He had been by Wang Li's side throughout the game. Seeing the ball flying in this direction, he rushed to meet the ball and was about to drive forward, but Wang Li did not. Throwing in diagonally, he stopped the ball with his chest directly in front of Milner, and then dribbled the ball in a reverse disguise, leaving Milner behind him with a clean movement.

Milner was really indescribably depressed. It was the first time in several years that he found it really difficult to defend well.

Originally, Milner, a full-time defender, was full of confidence in his defensive ability. He felt that even if Ronaldinho from Barcelona came in person, he could use his comprehensive defensive ability and excellent physical confrontation ability to restrain the former's performance. .

But this time, he also had to admit that he really couldn't guard against the black-haired kid in front of him. The other party's way of passing people seemed to emerge in endlessly, and that kind of weird and extreme movements were really overkill for passing people. It is impossible to predict. As a defensive player, he is already in a weak position. If he cannot predict, it means that he is directly at a disadvantage.Milner even secretly felt that it was a pity that those movements were used for kicking football, and it was most suitable for hitting talents——
It has to be said that his random guess is really inseparable!
.........

Since it was Manchester City's attack just now, after Wang Li passed Milner, the front was really wide open, which gave him another chance to start dribbling the ball at extreme speed. Sun Jihai's defense did not cause him any trouble at all, and Wang Li just waded through The opponent then used Lingbo Weibu to chase the ball without any chance, which almost didn't waste his time at all.

When dribbling the ball to the right side of the penalty area, it is impossible for the opponent's sparse numbers to completely cover Manchester City's penalty area, so Wang Li easily caught a chance, and immediately made a direct pass with one foot on the ground, causing the football to fly quickly. Drogba ahead.

After more than two months of cooperation, Drogba and Wang Li have reached a tacit understanding. The moment Wang Li passed the ball, Drogba threw off the defender and kicked the football. This foot volleyed vigorously from close range. , leaving goalkeeper James unresponsive.

However, what is depressing is that Drogba shot the ball directly into the opponent's arms.

Manchester City's goalkeeper David James is 34 years old this year. Although he is known as a "nervous knife" and often makes inexplicable mistakes, it is undeniable that he is the goalkeeper in England who has conceded the fewest goals. At the age of 30, he finally replaced Paul Robinson and secured the position of England's main goalkeeper.

Its strength must not be underestimated!
At this time, David James originally thought that the ball must be scored, but when he realized that the ball missed, he immediately looked up at the front field, then ran two steps forward, and threw the ball near the center line with one hand ---
That's Trevor Sinclair! !
The 31-year-old former England international is undoubtedly an all-rounder in the frontcourt. Because he is a left-footed player, he can perform well in almost all positions on the left and right sides, forward, and midfielder. Great job for Manchester City.

In the absence of defense, after receiving the ball, Sinclair made a precise pass and handed the ball directly to striker Anelka.

At this time, the French star was watching the backcourt from Chelsea's penalty area. As a powerful shooter, Anelka reacted quickly. When he saw the ball, he turned around and threw it away. John Terry behind him, and then in the rhythm, a sharp volley directly rewrote the score for Manchester City! !

Suddenly, the Manchester City Stadium fell into a carnival. Before the game, even Manchester City fans did not think that the team could lead Chelsea, mainly because Chelsea's performance in the first few rounds was too strong!And now, they even saw the hope of victory, how could this not be exciting! !
On the sidelines, coach Keegan also showed a smile on his face. Before the game, he had almost given up on the game. He would rather go to the away game against Manchester United than to play against Chelsea, because he really couldn't think of it. He came up with a great way to suppress the performance of the opponent's No. 21 young player, but he didn't expect that his inaction made the players not nervous at all and made the game easier.

Seeing that the team was leading, Keegan didn't make any adjustments. He just walked to the sidelines and told the players to pay attention to defense. Don't be careless just because they are leading. In fact, he studied Chelsea's video In the future, I will know that with Manchester City's defensive ability, even if they choose to defend completely, it will be difficult to defend for a long time. If this is at Stamford Bridge, Keegan may choose to defend when they are leading——
But it was at Manchester City Stadium! !Our territory! !

Even if he lost the game, Keegan was unwilling to let the team play defensive tactics. This is the dignity of Manchester City people!
Wang Li shook his head helplessly. Chelsea's luck was really bad today. They missed several goals and even he felt a little out of shape.However, seeing Drogba next to him who had just missed a goal, his already dark face almost turned into charcoal, he ran over to comfort his teammates: "Didier, it's okay, we still have many opportunities. "

Drogba looked up at Wang Li, grinned his big scary mouth, and smiled, but that expression was not much better than crying, "I'm fine, send me some more Ball, I’m just a little out of shape today, but I still want to score one, come on!” Saying that, Drogba stretched out his big hand and clapped Wang Li.

"Today is really evil. The opponent's performance is really good. This is really Manchester City? Didn't Manchester United transform collectively? Look at the counterattack just now, the 2-foot pass, it's really amazing!" Lampard beside him couldn't help but sighed. .

"It doesn't matter, so what about Manchester United, we are just unlucky."

"Well, that's right, work harder and turn the score back!"

.........

Taking advantage of the timing of Manchester City's goal, the commentator on the scene was unwilling to be lonely. He shook off his irritated voice and began to praise Manchester City's players, and by the way, he also satirized Chelsea:
"Anelka is Keegan's number one favorite. His goals are always so clean. Before the game, almost all the media were not optimistic about Manchester City, but now the score on the pitch shows that Chelsea is not as imagined. So where is the dance master who now announces the goal!? We only see Anelka!"

It is worth mentioning that since Stamford Bridge anchor Creed Pesvak was not punished by the FA for insulting the referee, even Manchester City's commentators have become 'open' in their words, which is also true. It made it even more difficult for the Chelsea team playing away games——
During the hard-working game, when there is a big mouth that spreads throughout the audience and harasses verbally, it is indeed difficult for the players to perform at their usual level...

.........

.........

Amidst the cheers, speeches, and cheers of the fans, the players of the two teams regained their positions, and with the referee's whistle, the game restarted.

At this time, the emotions of the Chelsea players were somewhat depressed. They were not behind, but the game against Manchester City in the first 30 minutes was indeed a bit depressing.

Of course Wang Li discovered this, so the game has just begun. In the middle circle, facing Drogba's kick back pass, Wang Li swung his right foot to the ball and it was a super long-distance hanging goal with all his strength. ! !
Wang Li didn't want to score goals at all, he just wanted to use this method to restore the morale of the team...
